I thought I had joined, but I guess not! My original goal was to be under 200 for Christmas. I hit that 3 weeks ago, so then it was to be 190. Well, since I am 191.8 now I am going to ask for 185!!! I really want to tell my family that I have lost 75lbs!

Whoo hoo! I just recently hit 60lbs lost (11/12) and it was AMAZING! Great job!!!!!

Thanks! :happy:

I didn't! I did very well, and I know my potions well. I even only ate 1/2 a piece of the yummiest pie ever. I was allowed 1,600 today (from exercise, normally I eat 1,200) and have only eaten 1,110.... I am really thinking I will eat the piece of pie for 400....

I was/am drinking 16-20 glasses of water a day and I still noticed that because I am eating less fat and whatnot my nails are brittle and my skin is dryer. My doctor told me to take fish-oil (I do not eat fish) and omega 3 capsules. This has helped a lot.

I always want salt. MMM. Like a salt bagel or salt and vinegar chips. Dang it, now I want some.

My plan of attack is losing an extra hour of not needed sleep (I like to sleep a lot, lol) to work my butt of in the gym for at least 60-90 minutes. Then after dinner I will go for a 30 (or more) minute walk to help me not sleep and become lazy the rest of the day!

I have PCOS and took metformin back in the day. When I was first diagnosed I had 25 cysts on my ovaries (13 on one and 12 on the other). I haven't taken any medications since starting this lifestyle change, and have had absolutely no problem losing this weight, I mean, who can complain about 66lbs in only 5 months?!?!

They did and now I am mad!!!!

Wow. I am sorry. At this point what matters is you and your family. If you are able to eat, do it, who cares what it is! *hugs*

I want to be 185 by new years!!! I think saying "I've lost 75 lbs" will be AMAZING!

I am going through one right now actually. Tomorrow we're taking my grandmother-in-law off life support. It's been hard, but I have been sticking with my calories well, but I have not exercised. I've been doing mfp for 5 months now, so it is a habit now.

I always have been hot, always. But now, wow, I am freezing. We were just (as in 5 minutes ago) talking about this on a different 100 lbs to lose website I am in. I think it's because my body's not used to be having less fat, AND because with eating less calories my body uses them for other resources, and temperature isn't…

I DID IT! Thank you!!!! :drinker: :heart: :flowerforyou:

Ok, here is a try. Me at 260 lbs> Me at 199.8 (hehe).

5lbs down and 6 lbs to go!

Thank you, but you're amazing for putting those up! =)

I cannot figure out how to post pictures on here... but> http://ms-babygirl.livejournal.com/95637.html

I can't figure out how to edit my posts, so I'll add it here. I didn't mean to write "pull the plug" I HATE that wording. What I meant to say is that we're taking her off life support.

Lmao. I am in the opposite situation girl! I tried on the Old Navy SHORT pants and they're still too long =(. How about you give me some of your legs?

I posted last Wednesday about troubles with my co-workers because they were rude/talking bad about me when I found out my grandmother-in-law wasn't doing well. As her wishes (which she had signed a long time ago for a case like this) we will be pulling the plug on Monday. She hasn't woken up, and it's been 2 weeks. :cry:…

Well, when I started on June 23rd I was wearing a tight 22. Yesterday, I bought myself a size 16!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love sitting indian style, that is the only way I sit when I am on the couch or floor, it is so comfy! Somehow even when I was 260 I could sit that way, haha. Enjoy!

I only drink skim milk, and the calories aren't bad at all! I would say try to lower the % to help you with the calories.

Yes, it is the most amazing feeling ever! Congrats on winning this week! I give up my temporary title of #1, lol. :smile: It's funny too because I was saying to my husband "wow, 190's, I can't wait for the 180's, OH! and the 170's, the 160's will be amazing...." and so on. hahaha. I feel now that getting below 200 I can do…

*GO ME GO ME GO ME* lol. I am SO HAPPY to be out of the 200's FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats everyone, we're doing amazing! :happy:

I have noticed that you can see the bones in my feet better. However, I really don't want my feet to shrink, I already only wear a 5.5!

I am just venting/really hurt I felt like talking about it. You can skip over if you'd like . In the past 19 months my husband and I have lost 3 grandparents. His grandpa April of '07, my grandpa in October of '07 and his grandma in May of '08. His last grandparent (grandma) has been in the hospital for 2 weeks now. She…

I plan on kicking butt in the gym to burn lots of calories (probably spend 1-2 hours in there). Then I will figure out all the calories I plan on eating. Like, 5oz of turkey, with a cup of mashed potatos and whatnot. I don't think I will actually measure like I usually do, but I think I can eyeball it pretty well just for…

Sounds good! I will try very soon :smile:
